1. Will Ángel di María prove a lucky number seven for Manchester United?
After three games Louis van Gaal's competitive record at Manchester United
reads two losses and a draw. On Tuesday things went from bad to nuclear, as
the Dutchman's side lost 4-0 to League One club MK Dons and were toppled out
of the Capital One Cup in only the second round. Earlier that day the club
smashed the British transfer record, blowing almost £60 million on a
predominantly one-footed winger, Di María. Can an Argentinian Angel save the
Red Devils? He could feature in Saturday's match at Turf Moor – from the
Bernabéu to Burnley – and has been handed the No 7 shirt, as worn by the
likes of George Best, Bryan Robson, David Beckham, Eric Cantona and
Cristiano Ronaldo. No pressure then. The last high-profile Argentinian to
sign for United? Juan Sebastián Verón.
